The Russia’s Tourism Industry is Suffering, Not only from Falling Demand.
“Tour operators are also facing significant pressure from domestic problems, including rising operating costs, difficulties with air travel, airport disruptions, and the fuel crisis. According to booking services, demand for package tours in Russia has fallen by 22% to 31% over the past year. Many companies were unable to withstand such a decline and were forced to cease operations,” the Agency said.
Domestic Tourism has also Failed to Offset the Industry’s Losses. Hotel Bookings in Russia fell by 12% to 15% compared with 2025.
“Expectations for an active tourist season in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in Crimea have also failed to materialize. For most local resorts, the tourist season effectively ended before it even began,” the Foreign Intelligence Service said.
The Agency said Tourism and Travel are No Longer among Russians’ Spending Priorities. An Average Russian Family spends nearly Half of its Household Budget on Food, followed by Medicine, Clothing, Utilities, and other Essential Needs.
It was previously Reported that the Russian Government Allocated more than 4.3 billion rubles ($55.2 million) to Support the Tourism Industry in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol.
